In January 1990, Dimitrios Kardamilas entered the world of trade with some hesitation, by opening the first marine store in “Dias” building, at the port of Nea Michaniona, Thessaloniki. After 6 successful years, his son Manolis took an active role and gave the store a new aspect.

The basic idea of the store is that each professional and amateur fisherman can find anything they want about their boat and the sea. The store has the ability to supply its customers (trawlers, dragnet boat owners, inshore boat owners, amateurs) with a wide range of products, from a small setscrew regarding construction / maintenance to complete fishing net systems, as well as electronic equipment and specialized paints.

In July 2013, the business was expanded by establishing the Kardamilas Emmanouil & Co. Company, which is also located in Nea Michaniona, and deals exclusively with wholesale and imports from all over the world. Following the modern needs of fishing, the company cooperates with top international companies and tries to import new technologies and applications which are friendly to the environment and the natural resources.

In October 2016, the initial store was transferred to a new, larger building and, at the same time, was enriched with new products. Moreover, the third generation of Kardamilas family has joined the business, offering more power, optimism and hope for the future.
